I had a recent discussion with a examination board member, who also happens to be a question paper setter for many years (CA Final, PCC, IPCC)..........
He has clarified that, there will be absolutely no choice in any papers. either old or new sylabus..... he also further clarified that there will not be any internal question choices too......
We have to answer what ever they ask and from where ever they ask.......
He also said that the marks allocation (Ex. - Accounts - 1st question will be for 20 marks/16 marks etc.) to questions will be the same as before..... but the only thing is, that there is no choice....
The questions will involve... the testing of our application of mind, more than just bookish knowledge....
he said there will not be any straight forward theory questions.... they will be more case law oriented or practical/logical/common sense application oriented.....
He advised that we have to make it a point to attempt each and every question, after thoroughly understanding the questions....... there could be googly questions..... so be carefull.....
He said... lay importance to Accounting Standards, The latest scriptts on Standards on Auditing, Latest Amendments and case laws in taxation papers...
All the best to you all.......
You could mail me at ajaynaidu @ gmail.com for any queries with regard to this matter......
